The standard advice is to try different wireless channels - try channels 1, 6 and 11 first.
Assuming you have the current Plusnet router - the 582n - there are a few settings that can be enabled that may provide a small improvement: http://npr.me.uk/telnet.html#w300
The 10.2 firmware is also supposed to contain some wireless improvements.

Small tweaks in the position of your router can also have a big effect. The wireless signals travel in a straight line to your laptop, through any obstacles in their way (walls, etc). Travelling diagonally through a brick wall can make a wall which is only a foot thick have the same effect on the signal as a 3 foot thick wall straight on.
